How would you obtain a mean value for the specific heat capacity of a material?

lidiya [134]3 years ago

The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.

An electric field is described by the vector e=yj -xi. what is the electric flux through a rectangular box in the x-z plane that
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The flux of \vec E = -x\,\vec\imath + y\,\vec\jmath is given by the surface integral

\displaystyle \iint_S \vec E \cdot d\vec\sigma

where S is the given square region, which we can parameterize by

\vec s(x, z) = x\,\vec\imath + z\,\vec k

with 0\le x\le 1 and 0\le z\le 1. The area element is

d\vec\sigma = \vec n \, dx\,dz

where \vec n is the normal vector to S. Depending on the orientation of S, this vector could be

\vec n = \dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial x} \times \dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial z} = -\vec\jmath

or -\vec n = \vec \jmath; either way, the integral reduces to

\displaystyle \iint_S \vec E \cdot d\,\vec\sigma = \int_0^1 \int_0^1 (-x\,\vec\imath + z\,\vec k) \cdot (\pm\vec\jmath) \, dx\,dz = \boxed{0}

A real (non-Carnot) heat engine, operating between heat reservoirs at temperatures of and performs 4.1 kJ of net work, and rejec
Sati [7]
There are some missing data in the problem. The full text is the following:
"<span>A </span>real<span> (</span>non-Carnot<span>) </span>heat engine<span>, </span>operating between heat reservoirs<span> at </span>temperatures<span> of 710 K and 270 K </span>performs 4.1 kJ<span> of </span>net work<span>, and </span>rejects<span> 9.7 </span>kJ<span> of </span>heat<span>, in a </span>single cycle<span>. The </span>thermal efficiency<span> of a </span>Carnot heat<span> engine, operating between the same </span>heat<span> reservoirs, in percent, is closest to.."

Solution:
The efficiency of a Carnot cycle working between cold temperature </span>T_C and  hot temperature T_H is given by
\eta = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H}
and it represents the maximum efficiency that can be reached by a machine operating between these temperatures. If we use the temperatures of the problem, T_C=270 K and T_H=710 K, the efficiency is
\eta = 1 - \frac{270 K}{710 K}=0.62 = 62%

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 62 %.

A wagon weighs 1,800 N and is pulled by a horse at a speed of 0.40 meters/ second. What is the power of this horse
Alona [7]

Answer:

Power=720[watt]

Explanation:

We need to remember the definition of mechanical work which is equal to the product of the force applied by the distance traveled.

In this problem, we have to find the power which is defined as the work divided into the time in which such work is performed. This way if we have the displacement and the time, this will be the speed with which this work is done.

Power= W/T\\T=time [s]\\W=work [J]\\Power = F*V\\where\\V=velocity [m/s]\\Power=1800 * 0.4 = 720 [watt]
